In 2007 I visited the British equivalent of the Blue Star Moms, ‘Support Our Soldiers’. Support Our Soldiers was formed in March 2003 to encourage and provide support for members of the British Armed Forces serving overseas and their families at home. Shoe boxes are filled with usable items and sent to the sons and daughters currently on a tour of duty with the British Army. These packages were put together by mothers who are members of SOS. www.supportoursoldiers.co.uk
